Adam as a mirror of Israel. "Israel's drama - its struggles over the land and failure to follow God's law - is placed into primordial time. In doing so. . . Israel is asserting that (1) it's sorry pattern of disobedience and eventual exile has marked their existence since the very beginning; (2) despite this pattern, their creator and savior has always been with them - and remains with them.

"Christians who takes Paul's /theology/ with utmost seriousness are not also bound to accept Paul's view of Adam /historically/. How we today explain the origin and development of human life does not affect our acceptance of the reality of the human I got of sin and death or of God's unexpected, universal solution. "

Seems logical. "Paul engaged vis scripture against the backdrop of hermeneutical conventions of his day, not ours, and we must understand Paul in that context. . . In the same way that we must calibrate the genre of Genesis by looking at the surrounding culture, we must also understand Paul's interpretation of the Old Testament within his ancient world."
